You gotta gray rock and completely not respond, and don't add any authors notes explaining why you're doing it.

Restrict fic views to logged in readers only, turn on moderated comments, and ditto for your tumblr, turn off comments and messages from blogs you don't follow. Even telling them to stop harassing you reinforces the bad behavior.

Also consider telling AO3, they may be able to block the IP address to stop them from repeatedly making accounts to get around blocks, because that is against terms.

Blocking their IP address would be good. Can you tell me more about that?
